The SST or sea surface temperature refers to the temperature of the water close to the surface of the ocean. Sea surface temperature influences the behavior of the atmosphere of the Earth, so their initialization into the atmospheric model is essential. While SST plays a vital role for tropical cyclogenesis, it is also essential in predicting the formation of sea breezes and sea fog.
The changes in SST reflects the overall trend of warming of the climatic system, and in turn, affects the climate and weather patterns globally. If the SST is too warm, the humidity upsurges and the greenhouse effect enhances.
Answer:
B. The <em>pituitary</em> gland
Explanation:
Can't be the ovaries, they're down by the hips!
Can't be adrenal glands, they're on top of the kidneys!
Can't be the thyroid, that's low on the front of the neck or something like that!
It's B, the pituitary; it's on the base of the brain.
Have a great day!
<h2>Type of Organisam to a Characteristic </h2>
The chloroplast produces food from inorganic materials. Anaerobic organelles cannot survive in the presence of oxygen this is because oxygen does not help in it's growth. Though eukaryotic cells contain cell nucleus. This is why chloroplasts produce food through photosynthesis.
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
